Born and raised in the Netherlands, I balance a career in strategy with a love for everything outdoors. When I’m not leading strategy offsites or creative brainstorms, you’ll likely find me in the mountains – hiking, trail running, or out on my gravel bike. Since moving to Switzerland in 2026, the mountains have become my weekend home base. And wow, I’m so grateful for this life!

My passion for hiking started with a semester abroad in the far north of Sweden, and it’s since grown into a mission: to inspire and equip others to embrace the joy and benefits of getting outside. Hiking is where I wind down, reflect, and feel present in the moment – as a way to recharge for the next corporate workweek.

I’ve spent years chasing incredible trails across multiple countries, and my bucket list only keeps growing. I take every chance I get to track down the best routes and the best views, and this blog is where I share that search.

Through it, I want to inspire a love for hiking in others – with honest, personal trail reviews so you can plan your own adventures well-informed. I also want to build a space where novices and seasoned hikers alike can trade experiences and learn from each other. So let’s explore together what nature has to offer!
